Hallucinogens: A Reader (2002) by
Charles Grob
It's been forty years since Timothy Leary sat beside a
swimming pool in Cuernavaca, Mexico, ingested several grams of the genus
Stropharia cubensis, and experienced a dazzling display of visions that led
him to herald the dawning of a New Age. And yet, from the counterculture
movement of the 1960s, through the War on Drugs, to this very day, the world
at large has viewed hallucinogens not as a gift but as a threat to society.
In Hallucinogens, Charles Grob
surveys recent writings from Donald M. Topping,
Gary Fisher,
Glenn H. Shepard,
Huston Smith,
Jeremy Narby,
Lawrence Bush,
Myron J. Stolaroff,
Ralph Metzner,
Rick J. Strassman,
Roger Walsh,
Terence McKenna, and
Thomas Riedlinger -- illustrating
that a reevaluation of the social worth of hallucinogens-used
intelligently-is greatly in order.
Thinking Across Cultures (1989),
Donald M. Topping, Doris C. Crowell, and Victor N. Kobayashi, eds.
This volume compares and contrasts contemporary theories of cognition, modes
of perception, and learning from cross-cultural perspectives. The
participants were asked to consider and assess the question of whether
people from different cultures think differently. Moreover, they were asked
to consider whether the same approaches to teaching and development of
thinking will work in all cultures as well as they do in Western, literate
societies.
